Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

Smiles finally appeared on people's tired faces.

The sky lanterns hung on the street dispel the darkness and cold, adding a touch of human fireworks to Liyue.

Lin Jinnian and Hu Tao also held a Xiaolan each and walked side by side in the market.

"Wutao, do you want to play other games?"

"No, no, I've played a lot of games just now, and there are a lot of prizes."

Saying that, Hutao took out the prize he just won, which was a hairpin.

"Here, put it on for me."

"Good good."

Lin Jinnian took the hairpin and carefully put it on Hu Tao.

Then the two of them walked and played until they came to the place where the Xiaolan was placed and found a good location.

Facing the lake, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Lin Jinnian still needs to make some preparations before setting off the lantern.

Hu Tao, who was staring blankly at others releasing flying lanterns, suddenly said.

"Hey, idiot."

Lin Jinnian stopped what he was doing.

"what happened?"

Hu Tao's cheeks turned red visibly, and he stuttered.

"do you like me?"

Lin Jinnian was stunned for a moment and answered naturally.

"Well, of course I do."

"I...I don't believe it unless you kiss me!"

Hu Tao regretted it as soon as he said the words, and thought about what to do if Lin Jinnian was unhappy.

But before she could take back her words, she felt a touch of softness on her forehead.

When he raised his eyes, he only saw Lin Jinnian's smiling face.

"I like walnuts."

"Well……"

Hu Tao's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, and even his breathing stopped.

"You...you...I...I..."

Suddenly he became stuttering and couldn't speak easily.

Lin Jinnian didn't give her a chance to think, and looked at her with a smile.

"What about Hu Tao? Does Hu Tao like me?"

Hutao was so shy that she could only cover her face with her hands, not daring to look at him.

It took me a long time to suppress the mosquito-like sound.

"Like...like..."

The more Hu Tao behaves like this, the more Lin Jinnian wants to bully him.

"Look at me and say it again."

Lin Jinnian grabbed Hu Tao's hand and forced her to raise her head and look directly into her eyes.

Hu Tao's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face became more and more rosy.

"I...I like you..."

After saying this, Hu Tao felt that his brain was about to freeze and he could no longer think.

Lin Jinnian also received a satisfactory answer and pinched her face with both hands.

"Okay, let's make a wish and release the lantern first."

That's what he said, but Hu Tao was no longer able to move normally.

So Lin Jinnian had to talk about other things during this time.

"Hu Tao, I'm going back to Dao Wife after the Hai Lantern Festival."

"You have to take care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, and wear more clothes when it's cold."

"Next time when I come here, if I see you losing weight, I will punish you, right?"

"Hmm...how to punish me?"

Instead of being afraid, Hu Tao looked expectant.

"..."

Lin Jinnian couldn't help but be a little worried. Hu Tao didn't have any hidden attributes, right?

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's light up the sky lantern."

He stood up, lit two lanterns, and handed one to Hu Tao.

"What is your wish for this year's Lantern Festival?"

"You speak first."

"I hope Hutao can be healthy and live a happy life."

"Well... I... I hope you will be happier and smile more and more every year!"

"What kind of wish is this?"

"This is a very important wish for me!"

Lin Jinnian and Hu Tao watched the lantern with wishes gradually fly into the sky...

I am filled with emotions at this moment.

"Next year, you will also spend the Sea Lantern Festival with me, okay?"

"Well, definitely."

The hands of the two men touched each other quietly, and their fingers intertwined...

However, the story ends there.

Lin Jinnian never came back, and Hu Tao couldn't wait for him.

Chapter 30 Plum Blossom and Snow

The story is over.

Hu Tao's plum blossom pupils blinked, and her smile was as bright as a flower.

She looked at Lin Jinnian dreamingly.

"Well...it seems like you still remember it well..."

The two of them were sitting in a sea of ​​flowers, with plum blossoms already scattered on their shoulders.

The story just now is very memorable.

She just didn't know why, even though they were very happy things, she still shed tears.

why……

Hu Tao pursed her lips, her eyes full of loneliness and sadness.

Even her voice became passive and lacked the energy it once had.

"But why did you break your promise?"

She wiped the tears from her eyes and began to count on her fingers.

"Do you know that I have been waiting for you for ten years?"

"Do you know...I have been waiting for you for five decades..."

Hu Tao had a sad and helpless expression on his face.

"Five decades... I'll wait until my hair turns gray."

"You lied to me and said you would spend the Lantern Festival with me next year, but I never saw you again."

"So I waited and waited...and waited...and waited until the end. I guess I won't be able to wait for you to come back to me."

"Liar... big liar..."

She punched Lin Jinnian's chest again and again, but because she felt distressed, it didn't hurt every time.

"You lied to me, you lied to me...you clearly said..."

The little hand that clenched the fist was pale and weak, and finally let go unwillingly. She could only lower her head and cry, crying in his arms until she couldn't stop crying.

"You also promised to accompany me to plant plum blossoms..."

"But... do you know... I have been waiting for you all my life..."

The tears became more and more violent.

"You bad guy! Why...don't you come back..."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time...I can't wait any longer..."

Lin Jinnian could do nothing but hold her as hard as he could.

"I'm sorry, Hutao..."

"Stupid……"

Hu Tao cried for a long time, and then her sobs gradually subsided.

After a long time, I heard her speaking in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"kiss Me……"

"Ok?"

"Idiot! Kiss me!"

Lin Jinnian looked down and saw her eyes that were red from crying and the remaining tears in the corners of her eyes.

It's just that a pair of eyes looked at him with a strong sense of threat, and his cheeks turned red for some unknown reason.

He was stunned. This look seemed to have appeared in a scene 500 years ago...

"it is good."

It was as if time had returned to the past, when she was still the little girl she had picked up. She had only arrived in Liyue not long ago and had never left.

Lin Jinyan gently held Hutao's face and looked at her tenderly.

Hu Tao was also ready and quietly closed her eyes.

Lin Jinnian lowered his head and kissed...

Suddenly, sounds reappeared in the originally silent space.

The swaying branches of plum blossoms, the sound of wind blowing, and the squeaking of swings.

The sunlight shining on the two of them also became warmer.

Everything is brought to life.

Lin Jinnian and Hu Tao closed their eyes and were immersed in this moment.

A sweetness flows into my heart.

The girl's aura is illusory yet real.
